Revlimid

Hi Cheri,
You know both Revlimid and Thalidomide are often "long-acting" - they can have an impact several months after the patient has stopped taking the drug. This means that you can say that you started to take Revlimid when you took the first tablet. If this is more than 16 weeks ago you should have responded now if Revlimid is working for you.

I don't think a blockage in the ureter can affect counts but it can probably lead to higher pressure above the blockage and this can give pains. If it is a stone it can damage the inside of the ureter - kidney stones can hurt very much as we all know. You will feel it in the back not in the abdomen.

Too bad with the low WBCs - hope they will increase with Neupogen!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
